How To Make These Muffins
- CRUMBS - Melt butter. Combine melted butter with flour, brown, and granulated sugars. Set aside.
- BATTER - Beat milk, oil, and eggs with an electric mixer. Add flour, baking powder, and salt and beat until well combined. Fold in diced strawberries.
- BAKE - Spoon batter evenly into a lined muffin tin. Top generously with crumb topping. Bake at 375º Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes. Check for doneness.
DONENESS CHECK - If the toothpick comes out clean, you're done. Otherwise, return the muffins to the oven and continue to bake. Checking in three-minute intervals.
How To Store The Homemade Muffins
These muffins will keep covered for 2-3 days without problems.
But you can also freeze them without any issues. I recommend wrapping each strawberry crumb muffin individually in plastic wrap. Store in a freezer-safe ziplock bag in your freezer for at least 3 months.
How To Choose The Best Strawberries
- Choose strawberries that have a deep, even, red color.
- Make sure to check the bottom of the container to make sure there are no mushy or even moldy strawberries.
- Storing Strawberries: Wash the strawberries and allow them to dry. Cover with paper towels and store in a glass container in the fridge. They will keep fresh for several days.
Note: There is a school of thought not to wash the strawberries until used. And instead, wrap them unwashed in a paper towel.
As of 2020 I no longer feel comfortable doing that. And I have since adjusted my storage practice. First wash, then dry, and store. It works great.
Tips for Success
Although this is a very easy recipe to make. A few tips can help you have really great muffins.
- Don't overwork the batter. That's probably the biggest tip. You want to make sure that the flour is incorporated, but you don't have to worry about every little lump.
- A great-looking muffin should have a golden brown top. The inside should be moist and somewhat flaky and have a consistent texture in every bite.
- Melted butter results in smaller, more evenly looking crumbs which are perfect for this type of muffin. If you use room-temperature butter, you will get crumbs that have a greater variety of sizes.
